Before installing I spray them with sugar water which seems to help, Now my new idea spray with sugar water, sift dry sugar granuals on to the wet frames let dry [ may need to spray sugar a little with syrup to make it sticker ] and have a giant sugar candy bar/frame !! :lol:

Now before any body get to far gone, it's 102 Degrees, and I might have fried my brain a little !! :yahoo:

I guess you do know Murrell that at a certain time of the year any granulated sugar (typically used for emergency rations during the winter) does get dragged out of the hive and dumped at the front door.

granulated sugar first off needs water for the bees to process it into feed. with little else in the box and nothing coming in a hive will slowly consume plain granulated sugar to survive. once a flow begins they pretty quickly seen to view the granulated sugar as debris and toss it out the front door.
